The people who come up with ideas like this remind me of flies. Why? Because, as irrelevant as flies are, they have a way of getting in your face and annoying the hell out of you. It’s the whole reason for their existence. The only difference I see between the two is that flies are only born from dung.

Colorado Voters Will Be Asked When ‘Personhood’ Begins

LOS ANGELES — A proposal to define a fertilized human egg as a person will land on Colorado’s ballot this November, marking the first time that the question of when life begins will go before voters anywhere in the nation.

The Human Life Amendment, also known as the personhood amendment, says the words “person” or “persons” in the state constitution should “include any human being from the moment of fertilization.” If voters agreed, legal experts say, it would give fertilized eggs the same legal rights and protections to which people are entitled. [...]

“If we give fertilized eggs legal rights, abortion could be considered murder and a woman could be sent to jail for making the difficult life decision to terminate a pregnancy,” said Crystal Clinkenbeard, spokeswoman for Protect Families, Protect Choice, a coalition of medical professionals, community groups and religious leaders who oppose the amendment.
